Description
Just 10 minutes drive from Carcassonne in the small hamlet of Villalbe nice former wine Domaine consisting of a majestic barn of apr.225m2, the house with apr. 151m2 of living space, the summer kitchen, the swimming pool, and a small park. A beautiful drive leads to the property.
The house has two levels. The ground floor houses the entrance hall, the lounge, and the semi-open kitchen and a guest bathroom.
The first floor has 3 plus bedrooms, an office, and 2 bathrooms.
The attic has ample space for extension of the living space.
The property has been renovated to modern standards, and conveniences like central gas heating, double glazed windows, new electrics and plumbing, and a new roof. Part of the property is a small wooded area of 2700m2.
One of the highlights of this property is the view of the famous fortified castle of Carcassonne.
Set in an ancient wine region, within an hour to the Mediterranean. Close to Carcassonne and well situated to the other cities of Narbonne, Béziers and Perpignan: also close to Airports, Motorway links and Railways. Tourism is the second industry of the region and is becoming increasingly popular for its ancient history and marvellous climate and its interesting vineyards. Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Cathars have all left their mark as did Louis XIV with the Canal du Midi.
Such a region is good for the soul: fresh food, wine and sunshine.
